Ethical, Holistic Holidays

We have been pioneers in responsible andsustainable tourism in Morocco since we opened La Maison Anglaise in 1996. After 10 years of commitment, Jane was invited to speak at the launch of Morocco’s Responsible Tourism Initiative in 2006.

As a natural extension of these ethics, we have a good understanding of the connection between body, mind and spirit which has generated a nurturing holistic approach to entertaining our guests: relaxation, exercise, good food, learning and splendid scenery. Special Interest group holidays are our speciality.

I was aware of your commitment to sustainability: it shines out of your website and even more from yourself. It is one reason for staying with you and I couldn’t recommend it to anyone without mentioning that very early in the conversation (as well as wonderful food and exceptional staff ) Lucy T Sept 2017

2014 – Lonely Planet selected the guest house as one of the Top 10 Ecostays in the World.

The commitment to sustainability shone through everything planned for us, also it was delightful and so well thought through. The week at La Maison with all the activities was amazing – so varied. it was a real privilege to be welcomed into Moroccan life and culture.Holly Anderson Nov 2017

I cannot praise the staff there enough for their commitment and dedication to making us feel at home there and sharing their culture with us. Their commitment to sustainability was very apparent and while it was not the reason I originally booked the holiday, it added to my enjoyment and sense of wellbeing while I was there.
